Lynch Syndrome X-Talk of Enteral Mucosa With Immune System
Recruiting
Lynch syndrome (OMIM #120435) is the most common dominantly inherited colorectal cancer syndrome with an estimated prevalence of 1:270 individuals. It increases the lifetime risk of colorectal and endometrial cancer primarily, but it is associated with a high risk of other cancers (pancreas, stomach, ovarian, central nervous system, skin, among others). It is caused by a germline mutation in one of four DNA mismatch repair genes or a terminal deletion of the MSH2-adjacent gene EpCAM. Despite ad... Read More

Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib for the Treatment of Patients With High Risk Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma With BRAFV600E Mutation
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well vemurafenib and cobimetinib work in treating patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy. Vemurafenib and cobimetinib are used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. They are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or st... Read More

The GAstric Precancerous Conditions Study
Recruiting
Gastric cancer afflicts 27,000 Americans annually and carries a dismal prognosis. One reason for poor outcomes is late diagnosis, as the majority of gastric cancers in the United States are diagnosed at a relatively advanced stage where curative resection is unlikely. Gastric precursors (such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia) are precancerous changes to the stomach mucosa which increases risk for subsequent gastric cancer. The Gastric Precancerous Conditions Study (GAPS) is an ob... Read More

Characteristics of Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Recruiting
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a disease caused by genetic mutations in the gene for type VII collagen. Patients with RDEB develop large, severely painful blisters and open wounds from minor trauma to their skin. We are screening subjects with RDEB to evaluate characteristics of the subjects and their cells in order to develop new strategies of therapy and determine whether subjects could be candidates for treatment studies.
